+Omally Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Today is a bit of a milestone for me: I have been Geocaching for a whole year! To celebrate, I popped out to check that one of my caches is still where it should be after 3 no-finds (don’t worry, it’s safe!). I was going to re-visit my first ever cache and start a new travelbug there, but I got waylaid as above and also didn’t have anything suitable to make into a TB so I’ll just have to go shopping when I get a chance. I was wondering what other people have done to celebrate their “Cacheiversary” (sp?) I suppose I could make a cache out of paper but, due to the inclemency of the English weather, it would soon degrade to Papier Cache!! I’m sorry, I just can’t help it sometimes… "Woof" quoth he. Oh, and "Grrr" also. Omally Member of the GAGB [This message was edited by Omally on August 26, 2003 at 03:53 PM.] Quote Link to comment
+Hi-Tek Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Oh b****r, posted in the wrong thread ..... Come on Neil, tell us of your 'High', 'Medium', 'Little bit smaller than medium', 'Little bit smaller than Little bit smaller than medium' and your 'Lows' of your distinguished Geocaching career over the last 12 months.

+Lance Ambu Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Happy unbirthday! and good morning! It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Wasn't asking for a backslap! I was just curious as to what others have done to celebrate... Hmmm, have I now started a new trend in celebratory threads?! Well since you ask, (hey, you at the back: wake up!) the Highs have been all about finding stuff: 1. Finding some really nice places to while away a sunny afternoon (and, *shock* *horror* actually forget about ammo-boxes and many other things besides for a hour or two). 2. Meeting some of the warmest, friendliest people since I left the village of my upbringing. 3. Finding something better to do with my time than just sitting here typing away at my keyboard... um, hang on ... Lows? well the only lows I can think of would be reading some of the unpleasant posts that pop up from time to time. But then , as my dear old nan says: "If you don't have a little rain, how can you know that sunshine is good?" Happy Unbirthday? Does this mean I have to Unbuy everyone an Uncake? Could work out Unexpensive... Anyway, what has everyone else done for their Cachiversary? (and can we get that in the next revision of the Oxford English Dictionary?) "Woof" quoth he. Oh, and "Grrr" also. Omally Member of the GAGB Quote Link to comment

+Eckington Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Now then Ben, didn't I once read something, somewhere, about not advertising your caches on the forums? Thought so! Eckington Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hmmm that wasn't an advert...it was meerly an answer to a question...I mean I answered it truthfully...its not like I lied and besides when someone gives me such a great oppertunity to mention my cache I can say it without advertising because it seems logical to answer with out that intent -------------------------------------------------------- www.buckscaching.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+Eckington Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yeah, right.......... Eckington Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Ben Pid:...I mean I answered it truthfully...its not like I lied Oh yeah... I seem to recollect that it wasn't made entirely of gold at all. After climbing all the way up the hill and feeling VERY conspicuous, I found a plastic box with the spray paint falling off and I couldn't see the castle from there, either John Age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 If a week's a long time in politics, O'Mally, can you imagine how long this year must have seemed to us!! I'm not organised enough to have remembered either of my cachiversarys. Finding your caches - Losing my marbles. Quote Link to comment
+Naefearjustbeer Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I guess I celebrate my anniversary every year as I got my gps as a birthday present from my wife. I found my first cache a few days later and have been hooked ever since. There are not many caches up here and when I found my first one it was the only one in the county. Now I am glad to say there a few more caches and twice as many active cachers in the area (total of 2). I am at the grand total of 20 caches and climbing slowly maybe I will make 40 before next year but it doesnt matter if i dont. AUT PAX AUT BELLUM Quote Link to comment

+stu_and_sarah Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 We were hoping to get our 100th cache on our caching-anniversary. With real life taking over, we're now way behind schedule, with 19 caches in 31 days. None are particularly local and we're also booked for the next 3 weekends! Quote Link to comment
+SimonG Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 My anniversary was a few days before the HCC event. I tried distorting space-time so the two events coincided, but that didn't work out, so instead I decided to spend the day doing a really great cache. Then I forgot all about it and did nothing What's your favourite thing? Quote Link to comment

Two years on the 31st of August mate http://www.btinternet.com/~omally/index.htm http://www.gagb.org.uk/ Which shows how much notice I take! However, I need 9 for my 100. Can't do anything Friday, but with the aid of a few lacationless caches tomorrow which are on my to do list and trying to be out and about on Saturday I might just do it.

+Tim & June Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Well done Omalley on your first anniversary. Typical of Tim though he forgot it was our second caching anniversary on the 23rd of August but what can I expect he even forgot my Birthday this year (but El10t to the rescue though he's put it in his diary for next year to remind him). In Omally's first year he has put a lot of effort into setting some very challenging caches one of which we are still looking foward to doing. I'm sure your second year will be even better.

For shame, Tim! Fancy forgetting your 2nd cachiversary like that... quote:In Omally's first year he has put a lot of effort into setting some very challenging caches one of which we are still looking foward to doing. You'll hate Merman and me afterwards, you really will... Hey, I'm not taking all the blame! By the way, I decided to celebrate by remembering my Paypal password so I'm now a charter member! Woohoo! Now I can have a crack at After Dark!! Omally Member of the GAGB Quote Link to comment
